About

Leasowe sits on the northern edge of the Wirral Peninsula, facing the Irish Sea. The shoreline here is a long sweep of sand and dunes that meets the sea at low tide. Close to the water stands the 1763 Leasowe Lighthouse, set back from the promenade and visible from the coastal path. Residential streets climb away from the beach into a mix of housing, small shops and community facilities that serve local residents rather than tourism.

Behind the shore, Leasowe Common and the dune system provide open space for walking and wind sports. The dunes and adjacent intertidal areas are used by wintering and passing birds, and the flat sands make the coast a regular place for kite flying and model aircraft. A golf course runs along part of the seafront, and community groups use the lighthouse and nearby buildings for events and local history projects. Everyday life in Leasowe is shaped by the sea, the stretch of beach and the lighthouse that marks the coastline.
